From the back pages, May 20: England’s Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson ‘as good as I’ve seen’ – Cook
Alastair Cook’s first Test on home soil as England captain ended in a comfortable win, although it took an hour of supremely destructive fast bowling from Stuart Broad and James Anderson to lend the start of the Ashes summer something resembling a sense of decisive momentum. “We thought that would be a pretty tough chase,” Cook said after England’s 170-run victory. “We knew if we put the ball in the right areas we could cause damage. But there’s still a lot of nerves in there when you walk in in the morning.” (The Guardian)
SUSSEX LEAGUE ROUND-UP: Cuckfield remain joint top despite heavy defeat
PREMIER DIVISION: Cuckfield remain joint top of the Sussex Premier League despite a heavy defeat at Brighton and Hove on Saturday.

From the back pages, May 19: It’s over to Roo, Moyes
ALEX FERGUSON happily washed his hands of the Wayne Rooney problem and told David Moyes: “You can deal with it now.” Fergie takes charge of his 1,500th and last game as Manchester United boss tomorrow — against West Brom — and once again Rooney will not take part after asking to leave. (The Sun)
From the back pages, May 18: Swing king James Anderson hits right notes to join the England chart toppers
At two minutes before 3 o’clock on a bitterly cold Lord’s afternoon, James Anderson looked down at the ball in his hand and stretched out into the rhythmical 15-pace run that has characterised the best years of his England career. Seconds later it had nestled in the hands of Graeme Swann at second slip, via Peter Fulton’s outside edge, giving Anderson his 300th Test wicket. (The Times)
From the back pages, May 17: David Beckham was one of best and most significant footballers of his generation
The most common reaction to news of David Beckham’s retirement this afternoon has been affected surprise because of a widespread belief that he actually retired several years ago – ha, ha – but such cynicism is unlikely to last too long. Strip away the celebrity circus that surrounded him and Beckham should be regarded as one of the best footballers this island has produced in the Premier League era, and certainly the most significant.

From the back pages, May 16: Ivanovic pounces in the 93RD MINUTE to snatch Europa League glory for Blues in Amsterdam
Branislav Ivanovic headed home from a corner in injury time to secure the Europa League for Chelsea in dramatic fashion after a 2-1 win over Benfica in Amsterdam. Fernando Torres earlier gave Chelsea the lead just before the hour mark when he brushed off Luisao and rounded goalkeeper Artur Moraes before tapping into the empty net to send the Blues travelling support into raptures.

Gatwick - Coalition beaten for U-turns?
You can’t beat the Coalition Government’s reverse turns. Or can you? Gatwick Airport bosses in July last year - ‘No way we want a second runway.’ In October - ‘Give it to us, please’. It’s the mad, mad world of the aeronautical industry. Gatwick derives from the Anglo-Saxon for goat, and a lot since is plain goatish.

Roads - ‘Pot-hole captial of the world’
For more than a year the B2116, between the West Sussex County Boundary in Keymer and Stonepound Traffic lights, Hassocks, has had a seriously dangerous pot-hole problem. Occassionally pathetic and futile attempts at repair have immediately failed but the very worst ones that have existed since pre-winter snow (so no excuse) without repair, have continued and degraded even further. Just how many serious injuries or deaths need to occur before action is taken?
